1.4 nAMur Mount
note
Due to the mounting hole pattern of the AVID LP
housing being 93.5 x 41.3 mm equal about the center
of the shaft, a modified Namur bracket is required.
The modification can either be 4 off M5 tapped holes
or 4 off M5 clearance holes.
1.4a Secure the appropriately sized modified
Namur bracket to the actuator using
the screws / washers supplied with the
Namur kit finger tight only.
1.4b(1) For mounting brackets with 4 off M5
tapped holes, mount the LP switchbox
to the mounting bracket by engaging
the Namur shaft drive into the actuator
Namur pinion slot.
1.3d Mount the AVID LP switchbox to the
actuator by aligning the 11 x 16 mm shaft
adaptor to the actuator pinion coupler.
1.3e Ensure that the base of the AVID LP
housing sits flush with the top of the
actuator.
1.3f Locate and tighten the 4 off M5 captive
screws in the base of the housing with
either a 8 mm A/F socket drive or an
appropriately sized flat blade screwdriver.
1.3g Tighten the screws to a torque value of
18 to 22 Lb/Ins.
